DMX ordered to wear ankle bracelet prison for violating bail

Meredith Chandler

Manhattan Federal Judge Jed Rakoff claimed on Wednesday that he got a report indicating that DMX "may have violated the terms of his pretrial release in numerous respects".

The outlet says that X reportedly failed four drug tests after testing positive for both marijuana and cocaine, and also violated his bail conditions of his tax evasion case by traveling to St. Louis without the court's permission to take care of a family matter. DMX spent one day in jail on July 13 after turning himself in to law enforcement.

DMX caught the ire of a federal judge during his hearing on tax evasion charges in NY on Friday (Aug. 11). "In addition, it sounds like he's a liar".

DMX, whose given name is Earl Simmons, hugged friends outside the courtroom and called it a "blessing" that he was free as he walked away from the courthouse to a hot dog stand, where he ate a hot dog and posed for pictures.

"He does have a rap sheet that does suggest more than a passing acquaintance with illegal drugs and more than a passing acquaintance with hand guns", Rakoff reportedly said. His lawyer said he had been hung up in West Side traffic.

When he was asked how he would celebrate his freedom, the multiplatinum hip-hop artist said: "That's a celebration right there".

The "X Gon Give It to Ya" rapper is in even more trouble. He pleaded not guilty to 14 counts related to the tax case.
